Your Task? As a group, create a series of arguments that support or oppose the creation of Israel. The final product will be a video response that Mr. Hartsgrove will put on his website.

Day 1: Explanation and Research

Preview the project.

Review the research process and citations.

Assign groups to support or oppose the creation of Israel.

Use the research resources to create two arguments as to why your group either supports or opposes the creation of Israel as a county. Each argument must have at least 2-3 supporting facts. You can use the template below to help to create and structure your arguments.

For the video portion of the project, you must have the opening statement, 2 arguments, and a closing statement complete in order to start working on your video.

Your final product will look like this. Notice how the video has bullet points, and Mr. Miles is just using the bullet points as a guide while he is talking. Your argument should not be written word for word on the board.

Day 4: Film Final Products

We will film all videos on this day with Mr. Miles. Your videos will be uploaded to YouTube and posted on Mr. Hartsgrove's website.
